Lowercase OK? indicates whether or not a modifiable item on an interactive screen can be entered in upper- and lowercase letters. If 'no' Alignment determines whether or not data in a field is aligned for storage and/or display and, if so, the type of alignment. The Alignment options areNONE, LEFT, JUSTIFIED, RIGHT and CENTERED. The default is NONE. Occurrence determines the number of times a field is present in a record. If blank, APPX assumes a value of 1. This field may contain up to five numeric characters and is restricted to a maximum of 32,767. See the Occurrence section for a more comprehensive discussion of this field. Translate? normally indicates if the value of the field should be translated into a designated language if APPX's Language Translation feature is being used. However, this option is not available for a text file field (unlike a text work field) and cannot be selected. |
